His move is seen as a significant upgrade, as Rangers are one of the top teams in the NPFL.
The NPFL has grown in reputation in recent years, with teams like Enyimba, Rangers, and Lobi Stars consistently performing at a high level. The league has also attracted top talent from across Africa, and Ekawu’s move to Rangers is seen as a testament to the league’s growing appeal.
